    <p class="content-sub-heading" dir="ltr">King County Youth Summit</p>
    Ever   wonder how to take what you love and do something with it? Or even   figure out what you do love? The King County Youth Summit 2011 is the   bridge between wanting to get involved and jumping in, with the people   and organizations that can show you how. The Summit 2011 will bring   together youth in grades 8-12 from throughout King County and will be an   afternoon and evening packed with workshops, discussions, a resource   fair, raffle prizes, a social event, food and fun.<br>
    <br>
    <span class="content-sub-heading">Neighbor Link</span><br>
    <br>
    Neighbor   Link supports that build healthy, lasting connections among neighbors.   Established in 2009, the program began by engaging neighborhoods in   community service projects (aimed at helping families suffering impacts   of the recession). The result was more than 30 projects, including food   and clothing drives, fund-raising events, neighborhood clean-ups and   activities benefitting human-services programs.<br>
    <br>
    <span class="content-sub-heading">Skate Parks </span><br>
    <br>

All four are safe and supervised areas for skateboarding.   Youth Link members also helped create the Crag Climbing Wall at the   South Bellevue Community Center. All of these facilities are managed by   the Bellevue Parks &amp; Community Services.<br>
